Medical Update
It’s been a mixed bag of health activities this week. On the positive side, radiation treatments are finished, and Cathy gets a 30-day vacation from daily chemotherapy. Yippie Skippie!!! On Tuesday she rang the “Completed My Radiation” bell on her way out of the clinic. However, she was told it will take another week before the fatigue factor from radiation begins to dissipate. The occasional nausea and headache spells also continue to visit. Overall, Cathy is fighting the good fight and I am seeing some bursts of energy in her that I have not witnessed in a while.
Living Update
Cathy is spending most of her free time preparing for a lecture she is giving at Wills Eye Hospital on June 7th. She will present various aspects of her 37 years of missionary experience during a three-hour presentation. She is the honorary visiting professor at the David Paton Lectureship in Academic Global Ophthalmology, an annual conference organized by the Global Ophthalmology department of Wills Eye Hospital. Eye surgeons from their program have been part of our mission teams since 2017. Cathy has narrowed her presentation down to 246 slides which I find rather amazing.
you are so much in our prayers Kathy and Tom, I know the Lord has a special place in Heaven for both of you, and we still pray for miracles because they are up to God to give.
She is incredible. Her life continues to help so many people in so many different ways. A real trouper and inspiration
Dr. Schanzer has truly opened her Heart ❤️ and accommodates God’s Holy Spirit to continue operating in her life to help Other Human-beings live so that they in turn may become change Markers even in our Sick World!

I am so proud of you Mom, and so happy for you that radiation is over. It’s a true blessing to see all these people whose lives you’ve touched reaching out to support you. I love you!❤️
You have amazed me since the first day I met you. Working with you inspired me to be a better person, with your help I became and shocked everyone who knew me. Glad you got to ring your bell. Wish I could be with you. Enjoy your month vacation. Love you always.
Very happy to hear that great news. Love and hugs from Memphis!
Continued prayers for Cathy and for you too Tom.
She is so strong and has always been someone that won’t give up.
